As they get older they do not like to deal with all of that.So it's the age old question of the yield versus the work involved.

That way the sides of the cabinets you see will age at the same rate as the real wood doors ( assuming you are getting real wood fronts )A lot of times cabinet manufactures use a vinyl side with their standard construction and since that is just a picture of the wood, it will not age and sometimes not look the same as the wood doors.

-Age and condition of SFR you are thinking of 1031 exchanging.

Nontheless we still knew that at one point or another action of some sort had to take place to secure our financial future.Two weeks ago after a long day at work while attending to our almost 2 year old I googled "Investing in real estate at a young age" due to the fact that im in my late 20's.  

can you determine a worst case rehab number based on exterior viewing,  age of house,  etc? 

Also they have social security they cant touch until 65, but can start investing it at age 25-30 i believe.....

But, today realized my unfair advantage.I think this could be a fun thread for everyone to share their unfair advantage(s)For me it's the following:My age: I'm 22 years oldMy job: full time, pays greatFamily: Avid do-it yourselfers, ready to tackle any project, anytime.Credit: Good standing, low debt Current properties owned: Small single family that is in process of being fully renovated( way more work that I antipisated).

Sometime  when I see people my own age having fun and not worry about future, I feel a little bit jealous.

You are starting off early and that's a great thing I wish I would have done what you are doing now at the same age!!!

The property is rented for $825 a month (tenant in place when we sold it) and the mortgage payment is a little under $500,  There is little cash flow right now but it will be fully paid off in 8 years when our investor will be close to retirement age.
